Can GPU-Z be faked?
GPU-Z now prepends “[FAKE]” to the Graphics Card name field, and lights up with a caution triangle. This capability is forward compatible for the supported GPUs (listed in the changelog), so for example, it will be able to detect a fake RTX 2060, which in reality uses a GK106 GPU.”

Are Fake GPUs good?
And even if your gut tells you that it’s a safe buy, you should still be wary. Unlike fake iPhones, fake chips inside GPUs are extremely difficult to spot.
